New X-Files Trailer Teases Hell on Earth

Fans hoping to catch a promo trailer for FOXs upcoming 11th season of The X-Files at New York Comic Con were not disappointed this weekend.

A pacy and intriguing 2 minute teaser gave fans a first look at what to expect when the show returns to our screens in 2018.

As many expected, the upcoming 10 episode series (8 standalone episodes and 2 mythology episodes, according to show creator Chris Carter) will focus on Scully and Mulder’s long lost son William, and his “very special” (read potentially world ending) abilities.

Those abilities seem to pit Mulder against Skinner. We even get to see the pair coming to blows — perhaps because of a previous conversation with the CSM in which he explains to Skinner that he’s asking him “to betray the whole human race.”

But it’s not only those with ulterior motives who seem to fear and covet William’s abilities. A moment towards the end of the clip sees Scully entreating Mulder “You have to find him and you have to stop him before he releases hell on Earth.”

And last, but by no means least, there’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment featuring Barbara Hershey as this season’s big bad.
